If you need a little push what about joining us at Holly Jolly! We have a great new challenge hosted by Cindy which is to create a Scrap Card.

I don’t know about you but I keep that little piece of cardstock or DSP just in case I need it. So I had a look in my stash and found some scrap DSP, cardstock and ribbon and created my Christmas Card.

The layout of my card was inspired by the current sketch at Cardabilities and I have used Cherry Cobbler for the base the card. I just love Cherry Cobbler it is such a perfect colour for Christmas cards.

I added an embossed layer of Very Vanilla and the embossing folder I used was Wallpaper Vintage. I search through my stash and found the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint that I had to have but do not think I have used and added some to the embossing to give a little sparkle to my card.

The scraps used:

Be of Good Cheer DSP

Crochet Trim Ribbon

Very Vanilla, Old Olive & Cherry Cobbler cardstock

The stamp is from the Tags Til Christmas stamp set and of course there is some bling.

Basic Black forms the base of my card and then I embossed some Elegant Eggplant with the Vintage Wallpaper folder. I added some Frost White Shimmer Paint to a dauber and wiped it across the embossed card stock to add a bit of sparkle.

I used the Floral Frames Framelits to cut out the Certainly Celery cardstock and then embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots Folder.

I haven’t used one my favourite Embosslits Die - Beautiful Wings recently so I added some butterflies. The sentiment is from the Word Play Stamp Set.

Thanks for taking a look around, please let me a comment if you get a chance and maybe I will see you at Come and Get It this week? Here is the link if you are interested in having a look around and see what the other Design Team Members have created.

It is time for a new challenge at Holly Jolly and it is hosted by Paige.

The challenge is Glitter and Bling.

I decided to use some Iridescent Ice Emboss Powder for the Glitter and some Rhinestones for the Bling.

The layout of my card was inspired by the current layout at Simply Stampin Challenges and the colours are inspired by the Dynamic Duos current challenge which is to use Cherry Cobbler and a colour of your choice.

The colours I have used are Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede.

I used the Snow Flurry Die to cut the snow flakes in Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede. The larger snowflake I inked up with Versamark and then added some Iridescent Ice Emboss Powder and heated to get my Glitter sparkle.

The Soft Suede turned a lot darker than I had hoped but the Cherry Cobbler looks great. Plus I added some sparkle to myself – LOL as the little bits of glitter just seem to float around your work space.

I added some Rhinestones to the smaller snow flake and added the Merry Christmas Sentiment from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set which has been cut out using the Bitty Banners Framelits.
